The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

The other five water search teams also each found one or two water sources. Although the water source is not as abundant as that in Lishutun, it is still close enough to solve the water problem of nearby villages in the near future.

Every source of water was jointly guarded by the people in the yamen and the people sent by Princess Anran.Each village set up a special water transport team to transport the water back to their respective villages according to the ration of half a barrel of water per person per day, and the water transport team and village cadres will distribute it uniformly.

Under the wise leadership of Mr. Tai, the officials and people in several other counties have fully absorbed the experience of Li County in fighting drought and self-rescue, and also effectively solved the problem of water sources.Moreover, Mr. Tai also wrote a booklet and vigorously promoted it to the Holy One.Mountainous areas across the country followed suit.Those plain areas are relatively more difficult.Du Wu Yi also.

Under the intervention of the powerful "government", the water problem in Xing'er's fief has been well resolved. At least in the entire Li County, no one has been heard of dying of thirst.If you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, there must be many people there, but Xing'er has never heard of people who died of starvation or thirst.Well, maybe there are some individual ones that didn't reach her ears.

In any case, most of the people survived safely.Even a slightly larger scale of banditry has never appeared in the city and the area around Kaoshantun. It was just a few sporadic gangsters who robbed some lonely pedestrians on a small scale.

In the remote and inaccessible place, that is, on the road from Lizhou to Lixian, there used to be a few bandits that were very rampant.Now, he is also frightened by the prestige of Wushuang Villa. He dare not rob the passing civilians and ordinary caravans, and only dares to attack those corrupt officials or bully landlords occasionally.

People in Wushuang Villa will pretend not to see those corrupt officials and bully landlords.But those common people and ordinary caravans would be hit mercilessly by Wushuang Villa.There were two bandits who didn't believe in evil and violated the "rules of the game". They actually robbed and harmed ordinary business travelers, and even kidnapped a bride, but they were wiped out by Wushuang Villa.

The prestige of Wushuang Villa is still very powerful.Because of the existence of Wushuang Villa, the bandit road tyrants who dared to blatantly harm the common people and ordinary business travelers in Lizhou almost disappeared.Of course, the village protection teams in each village also played a lot of roles.Without the village protection team, it would not be so peaceful. After all, the power of Wushuang Villa is still very limited.Moreover, distant water cannot quench near thirst.

The people in Lizhou, with the support of the six water sources, finally survived the most difficult thing. First, it ushered in a drizzle, and then, it ushered in a torrential rain.

"Wow! It's raining heavily! It's raining heavily!"

The cheers are endless.Everyone ran to the field one after another to meet the pouring rain, and let the all over the sky wash their bodies clean.Because of the lack of water, I haven't taken a shower for several months, and my body is so tired that I can't bear it anymore!

The weather in early June is already a bit hot. If it doesn't rain, those who can't bear it will probably go crazy!Fortunately, this downpour finally came in time!

This rain lasts for half a day.When the sky is sunny and rainy, the originally gray sky is blue and blue, the blue sky is clear, and the white clouds like flowers decorate the clear sky.Breathing the fresh air again, everyone felt so happy. Many people couldn't help but burst into tears, expressing the panic and despair accumulated in their hearts over the past year.

The entire Li County is empty for thousands of people.

In the next three days, there were several torrential rains.

Xing'er and Situ Changfeng have already made preparations for Xia Geng.

The food seeds carefully stored in Taoranju and the county government, piled up in bags on the large square at the entrance of the county government.Each town and village lined up to receive grain seeds according to the method of drawing lots.The money for grain seeds can be paid at the price of one catty of grain seeds and ten catties of grain after the autumn harvest.

Before the drought, Xing'er was very "foresighted" and stored [-] catties of grain seeds.Among them, three thousand catties of corn, ten thousand catties of rice seeds, and five thousand catties of sorghum.Situ Changfeng also followed Xing'er's suggestion and used his small treasury to buy ten thousand catties of grain seeds.

The 1 catties of grain seeds were apportioned by the whole county, and there was still a little surplus.The remaining one thousand catties, Xing'er all supported Wushuang Villa.Taking advantage of the drought, many families sold their land, and Yan Wushuang bought more than [-] mu of land.

Of the more than 1 mu of land, there are more than 3000 mu, just near Wushuang Villa.For the remaining 7000 mu, Yan Wushuang also connected those fields in exchange, and it was not far from Wushuang Villa.

Under Xing'er's guidance, Yan Wushuang built three farms on the 7000 mu of land.These three farms are named as Wushuang No. [-] Farm, Wushuang No. [-] Farm and Wushuang No. [-] Farm.In the future, a new farm will be opened, and so on, it will be No. [-] and No. [-]. . . . . .The operation mode of the farm refers to the model of Xing'er's Tianyuan Farm and Xinghua Village. Most of the agricultural products produced are supplied to Tianyuan Food Firm and Xiangmanlou.

In the top ten regions of the country, Wushuang Villa has also purchased thousands of acres of land near Tianyuan Farm.And established Wushuang Farm, which specializes in growing rice, wheat, peanuts and soybeans, and supplies them to pastoral food companies.

In the year of severe drought, many families were destroyed and displaced.Wushuang Villa accommodated and recruited a large number of talents, all kinds of craftsmen, as well as farming experts, business talents, and martial arts geniuses, everything that one expects to find.So far, Wushuang Villa has risen strongly and become a powerful sect.

At the end of July, the entire Li County was lush with greenery, and the crops were growing very well.Situ Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed deeply: "The disaster is finally over, I can relax, I really want to take a big vacation for myself, and have a good rest!".

Xing'er poured cold water on him: "My lord, there is an old saying that when there is extreme drought, locusts will come. Severe locust plagues are often accompanied by severe droughts. Logically speaking, the locust plague should have happened long ago, but it was delayed. Not coming, still makes people feel very uneasy. I think, don't take it lightly!"

According to Xing'er's memory in her previous life, in October, when the crops were about to mature, locust plagues broke out in most of Anlan Country.The locusts covered the sky and ate up the crops, and once again drove the people of Anlan Kingdom to a dead end.

As a result, the northwest frontier was short of food and medicine, and the soldiers were defeated without a fight.One-third of the country's land area was ceded to the enemy country, and the political power of Anlan country was easily controlled by the rebels!

no!This situation must never happen again!

Situ Changfeng took a deep breath, his brows twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Locust plague? Well, I went to see Lord Tai yesterday, and I seem to have heard Lord Tai mention that His Majesty predicted that there would be a plague of locusts in September! At that time , I didn't care, I thought he was joking with me!"

After hearing this, Xing'er confirmed once again: This person, the Holy One, is indeed reborn!It's so good, with the Holy Majesty leading the way, she doesn't have to take pains to carry out that "superior master"!She breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to be surprised: "Did Lord Tai really say that? Why didn't you tell me?"

Situ Changfeng quickly explained: "Lord Tai will arrive at Taoranju tonight, and he probably wants to discuss with the princess about the locust plague in person. He said it very casually yesterday, and it was just a sentence, and he never said it again. I mentioned it. So, the lower official thought he was joking!"

That night, Master Tai really came to Xing'er's house, and Situ Changfeng naturally came with him.The three of them gathered in the hall to discuss the plan to control the locusts.

After discussing for a long time, Situ Changfeng and Master Tai both proposed many very constructive proposals.However, none of them had much effect, and it was difficult to resist the overwhelming locusts.

Xing'er racked her brains, digging hard for the things in her mind, and finally came up with a plan: "You can use methods such as grazing ducks and chickens to eliminate locusts, and introduce a large number of chickens, ducks and geese into the farmland to prey on locusts. About 2000 ducks will be able to kill locusts." Eat up the locusts in the 4000 mu of land. It is recommended that every household raise dozens of chickens, ducks and geese, and the crops will be guaranteed by then! It would be better if you can raise more, but the locust plague has not yet come. If it happens, everyone may not listen to it!"

"That's true, indeed." Lord Tai frowned and nodded.The drought has just passed, and the people have not yet recovered, and their families are very poor.If everyone is forced to raise chickens, ducks and geese, it may cause a huge wave.

Situ Changfeng suggested: "Why don't we pay for it ourselves, ask more long-term workers, and raise more! Raise tens of thousands of them, and the disaster will be alleviated by then!"

Master Tai waved his hand: "This is not very practical. If there is a big locust plague, it will not be enough to rely on the strength of a few people! Most of the families must be mobilized, so that every family Every household raises chickens and ducks, and then every family’s field can be guaranteed, and there are chickens, ducks and geese eating locusts!"

Chai An listened coldly, and suddenly interjected: "Second sister, why doesn't our down jacket store reopen? Da'er thinks that the second sister can release the news of buying a large amount of chicken, duck and goose feathers. Go out and sign a purchase contract with the farmers in advance. In this way, everyone's enthusiasm for raising chickens, ducks, sheep and geese will definitely be stimulated!"

Myolie's eyes lit up and they exchanged glances quickly. Myolie smiled and said, "This idea is very good! This kind of reason can avoid causing panic among the people and achieve the desired goal! Lord Tai, Lord Situ , what do you two think?"

Lord Tai and Lord Situ are naturally kind and willing to accept.

The young Chai An began to show his talent in business.
